Electrophysiology; Electrolytes; Electrolytes; Electrophysiology; Physiology, Comparative. 214 ELECTROLYTES IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS experiments, slowed the rate of active salt uptake down to about one third of the normal value (24). The data at hand are, as yet, not extensive enough for the calculation of Qw. It would seem, however, that it is not far off from 2. The kind of anion present in solutions of sodium salt is irrelevant with respect to active salt uptake with one notable exception, namely, iodide ion (27). It has been found that the addition of equivalent amounts, with reference to sodium, of NaCl, NaBr, NaNOs, Na2S04 and Na2HP04 to a saline solution of a given NaCl concentration leads to the same percentage increase—about 20% 60-. —•Ringer's solution, NoCN free X X Ringer's solution containing NoCN (0001 per Ml.) .^"e\ X—«x— bag weight ^ 3 "-«.y'' ^^ 3 relative concentrotion of Ringer's sol. / bag weight 2 0 3 ^/ Fig. 6.

Numbers at the graphs indicate number of experiments from which the plotted average values were obtained (24). Clo is the 'outside' chloride concentra- tion, Cli that of the inside. —of net salt uptake. If, however, an equivalent amount of Nal is added to the saline solution, then net salt transport is decreased by about 15%. In general, the conditions under which these experiments were carried out were such that the named salts were added to a Ringer's solution in quantities that would yield a final solution equivalent to Ringer's
